Wanting more hope, Bill? I can tell you how i get mine if you want. My scope of influence varies wildly. And yes, i am hoping something like a Pattern Language emerges on the new [NCDD] wiki. --John Abbe

• response: oops, that used to say your scope of influence, sounding like I was challenging John himself. I meant how much influence do any of us have? I'm feeling a bit despondent over the significance of Small World attempts to achieve a more Open Society... -Bill Seitz

I understood it as meaning all of us, "your" and now "our". Did you see anything in particular that leads to your despondence over more emergence of Open Society? --John Abbe
